I buy (a) iTunes or some other digital download or (b) Vinyl. I rarely buy CDs unless it is something very obscure that I cannot find another way.

My kids do not borrow my vinyl. I have 100s of missing CDs from bands they decided they enjoyed - Zep, PF, ... They cannot get the LPs into their cars.

Plus they are kind of cool.

Well one of the things I do enjoy about CDs are the bonus and easter egg tracks, the out of country editions, etc. If they can keep those special tracks off iTunes then CD sales would grow again. One thing that I have noticed lately is the lack of creativity and actual art on covers. It seems that anymore when you look down a shelf of CDs it's either half nekkid women, or half nekkid men. Bring back the days of the actual cover art!
